Scoring and Grades.

This is how you will be evaluated. Here is a complete description on the details that go into the points you acquire.

• Score Rubric

Work Presentations = 100Points
25 = Project Concept
75 = Presentation

• 25Points-Project-> How the student breaks down his/her work and presents it part by part.

• 25Points-PowerPoint-> How the student takes advantage of the PowerPoint tools to present his/her work.

• 25Points-Speech-> How the student presents himself/herself (vocabulary)

• 25Points-Knowledge-> How the student talks about the tools and features that he/she used in Photoshop to create the work.

Individual Projects = 25Points

• 5Points-Creativity-> The student learns a wide range of tools in Photoshop, but what the student does with the tools is evaluated in this category.

• 5Points-Color->The characteristics of light by which the individual is made aware of objects or light sources through the receptors of the eye, described in terms of dominant wavelength, luminance, and purity.

• 5Points-Content-> In each project students are asked to follow a theme, what objects, figures or images the student decides to use is evaluated in this category.

• 5Points-Rules->In each project students have a list of set rules. For example: Image size, due date and resolution. How well the student follows the set rules to each project is evaluated in this category.

• 5Points-Theme->A theme is given as a guide to the individual projects the students make. How loyal the student stays to the theme presented is evaluated in this category.

If you have any questions as per the way you are being evaluated please feel free to ask me about it. If at any moment you feel that you can better a previous work after you’ve been evaluated I will more than happy re-evaluate your work with your improvements. If you take the time to do the work and dedicate yourself to better your skills I see no reason why I shouldn’t reward you. If you have questions on how you’re doing in the class feel free to ask as well.
